3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 [x] and the following apply. A
term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [x].
Access link: Link for communication between Relay and UE.
Backhaul link: Link for communication between Relay and BS.
Carrier: The modulated waveform conveying the E-UTRA or UTRA physical channels
Channel bandwidth: The RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA RF carrier with the transmission bandwidth
configured in the uplink or downlink of a cell. The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference
for transmitter and receiver RF requirements.
Channel edge: The lowest and highest frequency of the E-UTRA carrier, separated by the channel bandwidth.
In-band relay: A Relay where the access link and backhaul link operates in the same operating band.
Measurement bandwidth: The bandwidth in which an emission level is specified.
Occupied bandwidth: The width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits,
the mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage β/2 of the total mean power of a given emission.
RRC filtered mean power: The mean power of a UTRA carrier as measured through a root raised cosine filter with
roll-off factor α and a bandwidth equal to the chip rate of the radio access mode.
NOTE 1: The RRC filtered mean power of a perfectly modulated UTRA signal is 0.246 dB lower than the mean
power of the same signal.

Transmission bandwidth: Bandwidth of an instantaneous transmission from a UE or BS, measured in Resource Block
units.
Transmission bandwidth configuration: The highest transmission bandwidth allowed for uplink or downlink in a
given channel bandwidth, measured in Resource Block units.
